Ball Out/CarolJMoir

Ball Out 3×3 will be returning this weekend for the second edition of the UK’s largest 3×3 tournament, where they will once again produce the UK’s representative on the FIBA 3×3 World Tour.

This year’s qualifiers will start in London on July 1 at Ducketts Common (Turnpike Lane) and finish with the final at Turnpike Lane on August 12 and for the first time has restricted entry to UK-based teams only.

The winner of the Elite Men’s division will be flown to Hungary at end of August to take part on the FIBA 3×3 World Tour against the best 3×3 teams on the planet for a chance to win $40,000. If they win Hungary they will earn a wild card entry to compete on other World Tour events and be in with a chance of winning half a million dollars ($500,000) across the seven events.

“This summer will be the biggest Ball Out 3×3 event so far and it is going to be an exciting summer,” Ball Out 3×3 Organiser Julius Joseph commented.

“We have restricted entry to UK residents so we can grow 3×3 basketball across the nation. Last year we had a number of stacked foreign teams flying over to compete in order to gain entry to the FIBA 3×3 World Tour. Hopefully our domestic ballers understand the amazing opportunity to compete on the 3x3WT by winning the Ball Out 3×3 competition in the Elite Men’s Division.”

Three qualifiers will take place, two in London at Ducketts Common (Turnpike Lane) and one in the Midlands at the University of Wolverhampton, in which teams must reach the semi-final round in order to qualify for the finals on August 12.

Different categories include Elite Men, Men, Women, Under-18 Men, Under-18 Women and Under-16 Boys,

Entry price for Adult teams is £20, whilst for Under-18 teams it is £10 – all entrants will receive a free t-shirt.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
